Weekly Update – 10/30

Friends — I’m on the road headed to Hershey, PA, where tonight I’ll speak about Wilberforce at a Pennsylvania Family Institute event. Then I’ll watch the rest of the Mets game, of course! On Sunday I’ll preach and sign books at the Church of the Apostles in Atlanta, GA. If you can’t be there, there’s a live (10:30 AM) broadcast at apostles.org. Then I fly to Houston! You can see my full schedule here.

And this week on the radio program, we got into many issues, including the plight of women in China, reconciling gun culture with Christian faith, and of course the GOP debate! And I hosted a conversation with rapper and #1 Billboard artist Andy Mineo! He told me about his faith and musical tastes (he listens to Berlioz!) and his crew dubbed me “Easy E”. Fo realz yo…

Sincerely,

In the show’s second hour, Eric took calls from listeners, fielding comments and questions on everything from the GOP debate to the show itself.
